Chapter 19 Four Seasons Protection Guide
Even though they were mentally prepared, the four of them were still surging in their stomachs when they saw the scene in front of them.
In the dilapidated and desolate lounge, four frozen corpses are displayed.
There were signs of being torn and swallowed on each corpse, and the purple-black blood was evenly splashed on the ground, covered with a thick layer of frost.
That's why Zhang You couldn't tell the direction of the smell of corpse and blood, because every corner of the room was filled with blood and debris.
"It's really unexpected. Student Zhang actually managed to come to the inside of the inspection site."
The student union waited for someone to enter the door, and they were disappointed to see that Zhang You was still alive.
Lily dragged her tone dryly: "However, entering the lounge is just the beginning, and you need to inspect the room carefully. Remember, we only have one hour."
Zhang You forbearance looked at them and said nothing. Silently moving his legs, he endured the surge of gastric juices and walked to the four corpses in turn.
"Put your phone closer." Tang Xinjue concentrated on observing the scene.
There are countless more nauseating scenes than this one in a nightmare. Tang Xinjue was hardly disturbed by the mess, and quickly recognized: "These four people are tall adult men, the cause of death should be freezing to death, and the injuries on their bodies were torn out by dark creatures after death."
Tang Xinjue didn't say anything after that.
A normal corpse would not be able to gather so many dark creatures in a short period of time. What's more, some of those things just now had little interest in corpses.
More likely, they were deliberately released here, either to destroy the scene or to prevent people from coming to find them.
But no matter the reason, Tang Xinjue knew that she had guessed some of the answers by mistake.
"Here is the truth about the heating failure."
She spoke softly.
"The four corpses are the heating workers. They have uniform clothes and work badges, and they are all in this exclusive lounge for heating workers. They are obviously ready to go to work."
But before the arrival of winter, they suffered an accident and froze to death. Naturally, heating can no longer be implemented.
"But..." Tang Xinjue frowned, "There should have been five people here."
There are five thermos cups on the table, five chairs in the house, and one on the ground is sealed in ice and has a single work card.
Lily said slowly, "Tang's eyesight...isn't it good?"
Tang Xinjue ignored her and said to Zhang You, "Go to the window and take a look."
There were four windows in the room. Zhang You pushed three of them, but they were all blocked, and the direction of the blocking was from outside to inside. Only when the last window was reached, Zhang You exerted force, and the window slammed down and slag fell, slowly opening a gap.
"It seems that the fifth heating worker left here." Looking at the window, which was obviously damaged by violence, Tang Xinjue concluded: "Or, only the fifth person managed to escape Shengtian."
Zhang You repeated Tang Xinjue's words and turned to look at the student council.
The other party squeezed out a hypocritical smile, and said into the microphone in a surprised tone: "Oh, it turns out that there was an accident in our school's heating worker. This is troublesome. If there is no heating worker, how should the heating be done?"
After she finished speaking, Lily looked at the house again and asked, "What's even weirder is, why did the heating worker suddenly freeze to death? Is it a scary monster? Or a wicked student? This is really a question worth exploring."
Tang Xinjue sneered: "Then explore it yourself, don't waste our time."
Lily: "..."
"Haha," she giggled, "Dear classmates, don't you want to cooperate with the student council inspection?"
"Oh?" Tang Xinjue asked back, "If I remember correctly, our mission should have ended, right?"
Zhang You was refreshed.
Tang Xinjue's tone is clear: "From the very beginning, our mission is to help you solve the heating problem successfully. This process is divided into three parts, first, infer the reasons, put forward hypotheses, and determine the inspection site; second, on-the-spot inspection, if the speculation is correct , to explore the reasons for the failure of heating; third, to find a solution to heating."
Student Council: "...That's right, are you all done?"
"Of course. We have given the correct answer, found the correct location, and found that the correct reason for the heating failure came from the death of the heating worker..."
Lily pressed closely: "Then what's the solution?"
"Five heating workers, four died, and one ran away. The solution is of course to find the one and run away." Tang Xinjue answered as a matter of course.
It is well-founded, logically complete, and irrefutable.
"Then," Lily didn't give up: "How do I find the last heating worker?"
"That's your business." Tang Xinjue whispered softly, "The student council should have reported or sent someone to look for it as soon as they found the scene. According to your abilities, it should be easy to find a heating worker, right? If you can't find one, it should be easy. , I have to wonder if you are deliberately not wanting to solve the heating problem."
Button the hat on someone else's head first, so that the person who wants to button the hat can't do anything.
Of course, she is not aimless - the student council's requirements are obviously far beyond the ability of the candidates, do you want them trapped in the dormitory to track the heating workers?
Everything outside the basic logic chain, including why the heating workers froze to death, where did the remaining heating workers go, etc., had nothing to do with them.
Sure enough, with the silence of the student council, the task prompt sounded again:
[Ding dong! The task has been completed, the heating recovery process has been triggered, please wait in the bedroom for the cooling down! ]
The stone in the heart fell, and everyone finally felt relieved.
The student council also had to give up digging and declare them successful. When they lost interest, they even forgot their tone of voice. Lily held the microphone and went through the process sullenly: "Congratulations, you have successfully helped us complete the field trip. Although you are lazy and insidious, it is clear that the school is tolerant and kind... In view of this, we decided to give A gift for you, dear classmates, what do you want?"
Saying you're not excited is a lie. Especially when he was exhausted after getting out of danger, and suddenly got the end and reward, Zhang You suddenly felt that even the second face on the back of the student council was not so scary.
She looked at the student council to provide reward options, including "student council appreciation", "a random item", "an exam reminder"... There were so many different options that it was hard to decide for a while.
While in a trance, Tang Xinjue's serious voice suddenly sounded on the phone: "Let Zhang You go back to the bedroom first!"
The sound reached his ears, and Zhang You was instantly jolted, the drowsiness in his head was swept away, and he remembered his current situation.
Lily covered her mouth and giggled, carefully managing her curly hair and trembling: "This is also a gift."
The trash student union even dug a hole here!
If he had just chosen other gifts, Zhang You would have lost the chance to return to the dormitory. If it wasn't for the student council to hear the scolding during the call, the dormitory would have been scolding long ago.
"Let Zhang You come back." Tang Xinjue made a solemn decision.
"Are you sure? Then your wish will be fulfilled. This is the end of today's student council broadcast~"
Guo Guo suddenly said: "Wait, you haven't said when the heating will be restored!"
"Ah, didn't I say it?" Lily pretended to be surprised, and then said slowly: "Before night falls, warmth will come again, but the students will believe that the students will last until the night, right?"
With that said, the radio squeaked, leaving only the chaotic signal flow after the radio was turned off.
Within two minutes, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Zhang You stumbled in, pointing weakly at his face mask.
A few people hurriedly helped her take it off. Zhang You had already held his breath until his face turned blue before revealing it. He didn't care about the damage to his chest by the cold air, so he took a few breaths and said weakly, "Give me something to eat... "
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature was minus 60 degrees.
All the bedding and mattresses in the bedroom have been taken down and piled up on the ground in the middle of the bedroom. With the addition of tables and chairs, a small and thick tent was built, and the three people hid in the tent. Wear a down jacket with a drape and cover all exposed skin to prevent frostbite.
After eating and drinking, the three decided to fight the last time just like that.
Tang Xinjue took out the phantom arm that was frozen into a popsicle and studied it with interest: "This is the first time I have seen their limbs exist in this form."
This is also thanks to the [Zhengdaoguang] buff, otherwise, although she has a way to repel it, she may not be able to obtain such a complete specimen.
"Wait, judging from this arm, it has a substance, so is it a ghost or a monster?" Guo Guo shrank herself into a ball, as if this arm could break the ice and be resurrected at any time, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity and whispered. asked.
Tang Xinjue thought about it carefully: "Strictly speaking, except for a very small number of dark creatures, they cannot leave the darkness voluntarily. But if they rely on certain energy or substances, such as ice, water, fire, or even electronic signals, they can be made short-lived. in physical form."
"What's more, this is just one of its scorched, lost strength stumps, which was frozen before it became slag, and it was just preserved."
Tang Xinjue made a stream of water spurt out of the toilet, and the water quickly froze in mid-air, and when it fell, it turned into a touch of icicles. She knocked the two icicles together, and the pure ice snapped and shattered, while the icicle containing the phantom arm remained intact.
"Look, the enchanted weapon is formed." Tang Xinjue raised the icicle to joke.
Zheng Wanqing's eyes lit up: "If you tie them all to your body, won't you be invulnerable, so you can charge with confidence?"
Several people: ... your idea is very wild.
Guo Guo said quietly: "If there is one day, please stay three meters away from me, lest I lose my sanity first, thank you."
Zhang You couldn't help laughing, but the moment his mouth was bent, the wound opened, and he could only continue to close himself.
...
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the indoor temperature reached minus 68 degrees.
[Moderate frostbite: Health value -20 Your health value will decrease at a rate of 1 point every 10 minutes]
A day of anxiety and exhaustion, coupled with the stiffness of the body under the low temperature, made several people drowsy. Even if know that the health value is constantly decreasing, don't have the energy to control it.
The extreme environmental dilemma lies in the fact that human bodies are often more fragile than imagined.
But its hope also lies in the fact that human vitality is more tenacious than imagined.
Tang Xinjue put the toilet away. If you feel it carefully, you can see that there are two symbols in his mind at the same time, one is the cartoon skin, and the other is the light golden [Zhengdaoguang] buff.
At this time, it should have been used once, and the color of the buff is much darker than before. It seems that it has a very strict limit on the number of times it can be used and can only be used as a temporary aid.
If you want to pass the level safely in the more dangerous exams, the key to breaking the game is to improve your own strength: five-dimensional attributes... and abilities.
Thinking like this, Tang Xinjue held his head and slowly closed his eyes in the overwhelming sense of heaviness.
[…Ding Dong, the heating has been restored, with your efforts, the winter has been successfully passed…]
[Exam Progress: 25]
In the silence, Tang Xinjue opened his eyes, and almost the next second, tears flowed out.
Not because of sadness, but because sweat seeped into the corners of his eyes as he opened his eyes, and physical tears were stimulated by the pain.
Tang Xinjue stretched out her hand with difficulty, wiped the water droplets off her face, and then forcefully overturned the quilt on her body.
too hot!
One minute later, she may be suffocated under the thick bedding, and she will die before the exam starts.
As soon as the quilt was lifted, hot air rushed in. Tang Xinjue looked down and saw that she was lying on the bed, but she was still wearing a down jacket. The heavy clothes weighed almost ten pounds. It was a miracle that she didn't suffocate to death.
What about the rest?
This thought arose, and the prompt sound appeared at the same time:
[Ding Dong, through your tireless efforts, winter is over. However, because the heating workers failed to control the firepower and overheated, the summer came early. Please control the indoor temperature and work hard to survive! ]
...hey, summer after winter?
Even if the order of the seasons is disrupted, what the hell is the reason for this - overheating?
After being speechless for a few seconds, Tang Xinjue rolled over and got out of bed, saving his roommates who had almost suffocated to death.
"Ahhhh!!"
As soon as Guo Guo woke up, she frantically took off her cotton-padded clothes and pants. Although last season she sniffed and swore that she would rather live in an extremely hot environment than be frozen to death by low temperature, but now—
"It's killing me, it's killing me, it's killing me!"
Looking at the temperature detection table again, the pointer has been skimmed to the opposite direction: 37 degrees.
Tang Xinjue snorted: "It's tolerable if you only stay at this temperature, but according to winter experience, the temperature will definitely keep rising."
The voice fell, and in the next second, the pointer of the gauge moved up by another notch.
Everyone: "..."
All the heavy clothes were replaced with shorts and shorts, and a few people were relieved after sweating.
"Very bad news." Zhang You checked the faucet with a serious expression: "We are out of water."
This strike is not only about the air conditioners, but also the bedroom taps. There was only water available in the bedroom, so only the upper half of the water dispenser was left, and a few bottles of bottled water were drawn from the mall.
Under high temperature, the body's water will evaporate quickly, and the water consumption may be ten times higher than usual, not to mention the water demand for cleaning and cooling, this water will not last long.
In the dignified atmosphere, Tang Xinjue took out the toilet and swung it.
"Pfft" - a stream of clean water spewed from the rubber head.
After a few seconds, she hesitated and said, "Is this a water resource?" w, please keep in mind:,
